Vantaggi

The people they hire are fantastic, there's no doubt about that. It's a fun, interesting place to work especially for a first job out of college. Having a bar in the building is a great place to network. What the company is all about - providing affordable global opportunities for students is inspirational and really exciting to be a part of. There are also many different departments so lateral moves between products are common.

Svantaggi

The company most definitely lacks in professional development and any kind of upward growth. Within ET Sales, I have seen only a small handful people be promoted in years, instead they've been hiring from the outside instead of promoting internally. It's also expected that with some of the travel opportunities and great benefits - the salary is simply not competitive.

Vantaggi

Good training, good communication especially for a remote position, flexible, great management

Svantaggi

Scheduling and staffing effectively could be challenging due to unpredictable nature of emergency response, which caused both understaffed shifts and overstaffed shifts. In addition, phone-based customer service can be emotionally challenging - customers in stressful situations can often be difficult to deal with.

Hearing that the training, communication, and management stood out, especially in a remote setting, is really meaningful. Thank you for sharing! As you mentioned, the nature of emergency response is inherently unpredictable. Our phone-based support in high stress situations can be central to defining the experience for travelers, and the people who handle it are a big part of that. We’re proud of the team you were part of and hope the skills you built here continue to serve you well.

Vantaggi

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

Svantaggi

Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
